I have searched and can't find anything on these. Does anyone know the torque specs in ft lbs for the fill and drain plugs on the front diff and the fill plug on the rear diff by chance? 1997 1500 half ton GMC Sierra 4x4. Thank you!!!

Good and snug
On my Toyota I had to get my long handled 1/2in to get them off- absolutely no need to torque them that much- just asking for problems.
I just snug them up really well. I've changed both of these several times on my 98 K1500 and have never had a plug come out or leak.
24 ft lbs on both the fill and drain plugs on the front? Thank you!
yes
Thank you! Is that for all 90's vintage GM half ton trucks?
couldnt tell you, I only looked up the 97 K1500 you asked about.
No problem. Just curious if they were all the same. Appreciate the help!
